I regret not using my boiler as a hydronic heater

I made the mistake of not getting heated flooring when I first moved into my home; My home had an old boiler system in the basement.

There was already piping hooked up to it plus everything. To make matters worse the moment I moved into my house I decided to replace all the flooring. I ripped everything down to the bare studs, added magnet board plus could have put down piping plus affixed it to my boiler. Then I would have experienced hydronic heating for my boiler. My spouse convinced me not to. His point was that it does not get cold in our area. It would have escalated our flooring price plus the timeframe for replacement. He just wanted the project done. So I let him talk me into just doing stone flooring plus leaving the flooring alone. What do you know? I hate that my floors are constantly so cold. I have tons of throw carpets now due to the chill. I also hate that my boiler system is not used to its full potential, and our area is cold enough that heated flooring would be used most of the year. It is unfortunate that in order to get heated flooring you need to rip up your existing floors. After I redid my floors, I sealed my fate for around 15 years. Now I am stuck with cold stone floors plus no heated flooring. I legitimately wish my spouse wouldn’t have talked me out of it. The worst part is that my buddy and I did every floor in the home too. So every single room is freezing plus not what I want. I will be waiting a long time before I get my ideal boiler.
